io attachment for harness, and the novelty consists in the construction,arrangement, andl adaptation of parts, as will be more fully hereinafterset forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims. f 15 Theessential object of the invention is to provide an attachment for haineswhich shall carry the holdback-ring and tug or draft attachment whichshall be inexpensive of manufacture, efficient and desirable in service,and easily applied to the wood-work of ordinary hames, and one whichwill embrace and be secured to the said wood-work without puncturing itor diminishing its strength.

The invention is illustrated in the accompaf nying drawings, which forma part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a perspectiveView of a portion of a hame withniy improvement attached, and Fig. 2 isa crosssection taken at about the line .fr x of Fig. l. Referring to thedrawings, similar letters refer to similar parts in both gures.

II designates an ordinary hame, and A the body of my improvedattachment, having a re-enforced portion, as A. This body A is formedwith extensions E, which have a bearing in and are secured to the outerside of the haine by nails orscrews aa, and an embracingplate, F,whichis preferably countersunk and secured to the inner face of the haine.rlhe body has 'formed upon it in any suitable man- ./,io ner the tug ordraft-staple D, and the re-enforced portion A is perforated to receivethe shank of the eye B, that carries the ring C. The eye B is projectedthrough the body and is headed down upon the inner side before the 45same is secured to the haine, and the head, when the body is inposition, bears upon the forward face of the hame. By this construe:tion the haine is not weakened by the attachment, and the whole mayreadily be applied 5o with very little labor. The re-enforced portion Asupports or resists the strain ofthe eye B.

Having thus described my invention, what I cla-im as new, and desire tosecure by Letters 55 Patent, is-

l. In combination with the body A, having re-enforced portion A, andformed to embrace the wood of the hame, as set forth, the eye B, headedupon the inner side of the body, and 6 the ring (l, as specified.
